Army, disasters & modern city? Our exhibition on the ring boulevards of Kraków, Brno, Košice, & Szeged shows how modern urban space grew from crises to negotiations & how provincial cities shaped their own modernity. On view at the @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social Museum until the end of Feb. 2026.

This collaboration will be running through the end of 2028/2029. Soon, through the website, you will be able to follow our activities and research on refugees, biopolitics, camps, environments, resilience, recovery, and wartime human experiences. Let’s begin!
We have launched the project "Forging Wartime Biopolitics: Militarized Refugees’ Bodies and Environments in WWI Eastern Europe" #BioForgeWar with a kick-off meeting of PIs from @univie.ac.at (Kerstin von Lingen), @humboldtuni.bsky.social (Oksana Nagornaia), and @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social (myself).
Danke, liebe Tamara!
I will discuss how the bodies of fallen soldiers were transformed from imperial to national frameworks, and how this shift reshaped commemorative landscapes across East-Central Europe after 1918.
